SOMETHING NEW

 NEW COMICS
8 JANUARY 2014

 

We hope you all had a wonderful new year and are ready to start 2014 with a BANG, because we've got a sensational line up of new comics for you to enjoy!
Batman fans are especially fortunate this week, with the release of the super-sized, 
super-special anniversary issue of DETECTIVE COMICS #27,  which retells the caped crusader's first appearance for a modern audience.  Also from DC we have the penultimate BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE, BATMAN SUPERMAN, and a new series based on popular tv series THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.  Also arriving this week: a new mini series for Jake and Finn fans in ADVENTURE TIME FLIP SIDE, SHAOLIN COWBOY, FATALE, 
SEX CRIMINALS, and THREE.  The ALL NEW MARVEL NOW initiative begins in full force this week, with the release of brand new titles AVENGERS WORLD, BLACK WIDOW,  
ALL NEW X-FACTOR and REVOLUTIONARY WAR.  As well as new #1s we have the conclusions to CATACLYSM ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, FANTOMEX MAX, INFINITY HEIST, and the final issue of my beloved YOUNG AVENGERS (sniff). 
And now, on to the comics!
